WILL WICHITA HAVE ITS DAY AS A
HOG PACKER?

To the Editor OF the Daily Eagle.
Recent articles in the EAGLE, relative to
our future as the center of coming meat.
producing district, calls our attention to
an article published in the New York
Trade Review some weeks since. No man
In the country would be considered better
au thority upon this subject than P. D.
Armour. of Chicago, and as the following
comes from the above gentleman's lips 1t
can be regarded as having especial weight:
Mr.. P. D. Armour, of Chicago is cred
tied by a Cincinnati paper with the follow:
ing statement in regard to the business OF
hog packing in Chicago: ITO be frank, /
think we will never again do as much bus.
mess as in the past. We have reached
our zenith and are on the other side.
/ fully realize this The meat raising
district is moving West. Once it center.
ed in Cincinnati, then in Chicago, but
now it is in Kansas City. AS Ohio, lndl-
ana, Illinois, Missouri and Iowa fill up
the farmers find that farming pays better
than stock-raising Then. too, the cattle
ranges are being constantly contracted as
the country grows more thickly populat-
ed" Whereupon the Chicago Tribune
comments as follows:
There can be no doubt MS to the sound
ness of Mr.. ArmOur's views On business
matters in general and not much reason to
question them in this particular. But 1t Is
only fair TO the place talked about and to
the party talking about it to call attention
to the fact that the falling behind alluded
to is the result of special causes, neither
of which is obliged to last for ever. The
building up of q big packing trade IN
Kansas City has been accomplished largely
by freight determinations against Chicago.
to which must be added the labor strikes
of last year. The first may be materially
lessened, if not abolished, by the passage
of the Cullum bill. and the latter will not
necessarily be repeated. With fair con,
ditions in the markets for freight and
labor there is no good reason why either
one of the cities named should grow at the
expense Of the other. The minor cities OF
the west have alwas found 1t profitable to
engage In packing operations to certain
extent, which may be roughly stated a.
aggregating fiifty-five per cent for severa
years past, while the re
manning forty five per cent Of the business
has been done here. The work Of the
present winter shows up largely to our dis
advantage, taking the above figures as
basis, but it is unfair to assume that thu
facts which have acted especially to oul
disfavor during the last four months arr
stereotyped for use in all future years"
The argument of the above is that tn
packing centre moves west. 1t was a
Cincinnati, then Chicago, now at Kansa
City. What is true Of the two first namet
will prove true of the latter. Kaasas Cit.
will have its day, and when the time come
for the move where can it come in tn
west but to our own proud Wichita. Their
are but two requisites to a great meat cen
ter. They are, producing territory t
draw from and railroad facilities. Wichit
has both. and capital will seek her. Th
great era can be fastened by proper en-
couragement.. Let us be alive and work t.
that end. ~

Until those rays in silence creep

We clip from an exchange the following
rs a pointer to Kansas boards of trade:
"Wichitas boom is largely due TO the fact
that the city went to work in the right
way by paying the local papers TO adver-
tise Il. The EAGLE and Bescon receive
regular advertising rates for booming the
town, and the city buys up large numbers
of each issue for free distribution. '-Tope-

rectly for any such purpose.

SENATOR INGALLS, ON THE INTER-
STATE.

To the Editor OF the Eagle.
WICHITA, April q, 1887.
Senator Ingalls, is now in our city and why
not invite him to address our people on the
interstate commerce law. By common con-
sent it is admitted by the people Of Kansas
that the law is extremely detrimental to
every interest Of the state. The senator hay
ing been quite active in urging its passage
and voting for it, may be possessed of some
secret source Of information or wisdom
which will enable him to satisfy the voters Of
the state.
The writer suggests an invitation be en-
tended the senator to address our people on
this subject. VoX PoPULI.
Senior ingalls, has gone from the city,
but the editor of this paper had very sat
isfaetory talk over the question with Mr..
Ingalls, and Speaker Carlisle. They both
concurred in the declaration that the law
was a mistake and that it was passed
against the judgment Of the most thought
full statesmen and was voted for by num-
Der of senators and representatives who
did not believe in it, but who voted for it
in response to an urgent demand from a
large element of the American people who
have been asking for legislative control
of railway management, and because the
bill itself contained many wise provis-
ions. Mr.. ingalls, made several speeches
against the bill in which he pointed out
some of the very troubles which have come
to pass. He said, referring to the long and
short haul clause, as our readers will re-
member, that congress had undertaken to
legislate on matter which they knew prac
ticslly nothing, matter which had puzzled
and perplexed men who had devoted their
lives to thst phase of the transportation
question, and that the action of congress
would be Ike running a crow bar into the
delicately adjusted work of a watch to reg
ulate its time keeping. Heopposed the long
and short haul provision of the bill and the
section against pooling Asour corresponden
knows and as every shipper knows, theSe
are the two sections which work so much
hardship and which should never hav'
been made. Mr. ingalls, in the investiga
ton alluded to, said that because of thes,
two sections, in his judgment, the bill
would cost Kansas twenty millions o
dollars before congress would have tbs
opportunity to amend or repeal Mr.
Carlisle thought that the railroad. manage
ments were not hurting themselves in en-
desvors to make the law popular. Bott
agreed that national advisory commission
after the style of our Kansas board o.
railway commissioners would prove more
practical, more effectual and less hurtful

OMAHA, June 23d-At to-day's session of
the Pacific Investigating Committee, Traffic
Manager kimball, being asked when he
would produce his diary to refresh his
memory regarding his attendance on leg
islative bodies, said he did not intend 10
produce it, as it was his private diary. He
asked for time to make references.
u. 5. Barriger, of the Omaha Elevator
and Grain Company, said the Union Pacific
had paid his company rebates to enable it
to meet competition, and because other
roads paid them to its competitors. The
rebates had been 2 cents per hundred at
some points, and cents at others. OF
these, the Union Pacific only stood 10 per
cent, the remainder being refunded TO them
by other roads in the combination with it.
His company has for two years past re-
ceived continuous rebate of per cent.
per hundred at the Omaha transfer.
himball, being recalled, testified that
Charles Francis Adams was a stockholder
in the Argentine Smelling Company, of
Kansas City, but this had not helped that
company any. They had had occasional
rebates. but did little business with the
Union Pacific. Rebates had also been given

lily occurred at Socorro yesterday. Two
weeks ago A. f. Alvarado, son of the late
Governor Alvarado of California. came to
Socorro from San Antonio, Texas, where he
bad been teaching school He was a Young
man OF high attainmcnts and intellectual
qualities, and Immediately secured a posi-
ton as translator and interpreter with a
prominent law firm. A few DAYS since he
became gloomy and respondent, and COM
planned of being defrauded out of large
estate in California, inherited from his
father. His dependency terminated in a
heavy debauch, and on Monday night he
lett the city on loot, saying to an acauaint-
ance that he would not be alive in the morn
ing. Yesterday morning his body was
found in the acequia near town. Circum-
stances indicate an exceedingly deliberate
suicide, for he had removed his coat and
shoes placing heavy rock in the former
ana securing it about his neck so that after
lying down in the acequia it was impossible
for him to lift his head above the shallow
water. He is said to be closely connected
with a wealthy California family. The
body is held to await instructions. and will
probably be taken to San Francisco for

TEHAMA, June 23d-I. 2. Bogard. a
pioneer wool-grower of Tehama a short
time since had occasion to visit one of his
sheep camps in the mountains, about thirty
miles east of Tehama. When he arrived
at the camp, finding everything all right.
he gave the herder day off and remained
at the camp alone. The cabin was built of
logs and shed extended over one end. In
the evening Bogard killed fine fat sheep
and hung it up under the shed.
During the night he was awakened by
what he supposed to be dog eating his
mutton. Quietly slipping out of bed in
scanty raiment, he procured piece of
board about four feet long and four inches
wide. He tiptoed around the house with
the intention of giving the dog terrible
ksurprise. Arriving at the spot he could 10
the dim light distinguish some object pull
ing at the mutton.
He raised his board and brought it down
with all his might upon the back of large
grizzly bear.
The bear gave an unearthly growl ard
sprung at Bogard who had already dropped
his stick and was making for the door at q
2:40 gait.
As Bogard jumped into the door his bear
ship succeeded in taking hold of his neither
garment, which, being of light material
gave way, and Bogard reached place oi
safety. Bogard and his herder killed the
bear the next day. 1t weighed about SOC
pounds.
